Font Dialog is one of the important features in VB.NET The Font because it lets the user choose attributes for a font, such as font family and associated font style, font size, effects , and a script. Now, let's start this Font Dialog tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application. 2. Next, add only one Button named Button1 and labeled it as "Click to Show Font Dialog". You must design your layout like this: design

3. Add FontDialog from the toolbox: Add

4. Now put add this code for your code module. This code is for Button1_Click:

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        FontDialog1.ShowDialog()
        If FontDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim fontName As String
            Dim fontSize As Integer
            fontName = FontDialog1.Font.Name
            fontSize = FontDialog1.Font.Size
 
            MsgBox(fontName & "  " & fontSize)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

Explanation:

When we click Button1 the Font Dialog will first show because of the syntax FontDialog1.ShowDialog() . Then, we select for our desired font, font size, the script, and the effect. If we click the button ok on the Font Dialog, it will grab the desired Font Name and Font Size to be displayed in a form of Message Box as we code

 fontName = FontDialog1.Font.Name
fontSize = FontDialog1.Font.Size
 MsgBox(fontName & "  " & fontSize)
